The Old Yellowstone Highway (U.S. Hwy 20/26/287) across Wyoming to the south gate of Yellowstone National Park was one of the first road trip routes designed for automobiles. It remains a unique, authentic way to road trip—Route 66-style—to Yellowstone National Park.

So leave the screaming, blinded pace of the interstate behind. Exit I-80 at Ogallala, Nebraska and start your classic road trip into the history of the West and the West of today. Take U.S. Hwy. 26, slow down and take it all in: the rugged landscape, the quirky signs, the welcoming smiles, and even the giant jackalopes. After all, is it truly a road trip if you don’t discover the lesser-known, unexpected and crowd-free corners of America?
